“Oh, gosh. I’m sorry, Officer,” the brunette said through the window. Her cheeks flushed, and she slipped back inside and closed the window.
“I assure you, everything is okay here.” Kurt glared at the hot blonde.
“Okay, well, if you see any suspicious activity, we’re only a phone call away.” He took a step toward his car.
The tall blonde hurried into his path. “Did someone from Seaside call the police?”
“No. I was just patrolling the area.”
She held his gaze. “Just patrolling the area? No one
patrols
Seaside.”
“Bella,” the other blonde hissed.
Bella
.
“Seriously. No one patrols our community. They never have.” She lifted her chin in a way that he assumed was meant as a challenge, but it had the opposite effect. She looked cuter than hell.
Caden stepped closer and tried to keep a straight face. “Your name is Bella?”
“Maybe.”
Feisty, too. He liked that. “Well, Maybe Bella, you’re right. We haven’t patrolled your community in the past, but things have changed. We’ll be patrolling more often to keep you safe until we catch the people who have been burglarizing the area.” He leaned in close and whispered, “But you might consider wearing pants for your window-closing evening strolls. Never know who’s traipsing around out here.”

I’ve waited a long time to write about the Ryders, and it was so much fun being in their world and reconnecting with Siena and Cash from FLAMES OF LOVE (The Remingtons). I can’t wait to bring you the rest of their stories. For those of you who have picked up the Love in Bloom Hunky Heroes calendar or book, rest assured, I’ve received your messages, and Duke Ryder will be every bit as sexy as his pictures.
I have endless gratitude for my amazing readers, friends, fans, and fabulous street team, who continue to inspire me on an hourly basis. Christy, your visual stimulation (aka hunky hero pics) are awe-inspiring. Aimee Suter, I hope you find a hero like Blue Ryder, worthy of your lovely personality and all your deliciously naughty lists. Thank you for letting me borrow them for this story. I hope I did them justice.
